1525 GMT: Morocco. Several thousand people marched through the capital Rabat on Sunday to protest against unemployment and the cost of living.
In a "national march of protest" for greater freedoms and rights, yellow-clad marchers moved through the streets of the city.
Protesters challenged government plans to reform laws dealing with labor unions, including docking the pay of strikers. Chanting "people want the fall of the government" and “Morocco is witnessing social regression", they called for the departure of Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane.
Other slogans denounced government policies, corruption, and the high cost of living.
